Arturia team, can you please make a statement on a possible update?

[Edouard_Arturia]

I always wondered what will happen if a beta release somehow bricks the controller. Is there a failsafe to ensure some sort of connectivity is guaranteed to be able to flash another firmware?

From all the cases I've seen, eventhe fiercest units bent the knee at some point and got updated

@Edouard_Arturia:

When you say "We started a beta...", does that mean it went out to outside testers?  ... I was hoping for an email. :/

That's a good thing to hear!
I may be a little bit late, but if it's still possible I'd like to help testing the beta. Thanks!

Hello ! To the beta test team, composed of external volunteers
Are you part of the Matrix beta?
If yes, the beta is available on the beta forum 

That's a good thing to hear!

I've asked my colleague to add you to the beta team.

Best

Are you part of the Matrix beta?

No, but I asked, via private message, to be part of the beta a while back.  On March 3rd you sent a message saying you had forwarded my message to the concerned party, and he would get back to me ASAP...

And that's the last I heard of it. 

Maybe everyone who asks doesn't get accepted.  If so, then so be it. 

If I just got lost in the shuffle, however, I am still very interested in helping test the new version.

Thanks!

Same for me, I has sent a PM as well to be a part of the beta testers, but never heard back. Let me know if I can help. I have a good variety of other brands HW synths and HW sequencer to test the Midi I/O portions interfacing/sync clock etc with MatrixBrute.

Me too...

So I signed the NDA and emailed Florian back but are yet to get the link for the Beta code to test with. After watching Edouard's workshop video today I am excited to get working with the MatrixBrute, any updates on when we will get to start testing?

[yeskeys]

Can anyone confirm that there IS a new beta that has been released to beta testers?

Thanks

[rens]

No update at all? Edouard?

[Edouard_Arturia]

Hello guys.

A release candidate is on the way and should be out soon 

Best regards

Edouard

[Edouard_Arturia]

Hello everyone.

The update is out there: https://www.arturia.com/products/matrixbrute/resources

It seems that the MIDI Control Center is not prompting the "Firmware update available" pop-up.
So you may need to download it from the resources pages until we get this fixed.

Take care & stay safe

Edouard

YAY!! Thank you...Can't wait to get home later this evening and test it. I hope the Midi Sync/Midi START/STOP command issues have been solved.

In MIDI sync + Record on, no more stuck note when holding a key and pressing play on Master device

[LFO]
When MIDI slaved and the sequencer playing, LFOs phase could be offset after loading a new sequence preset
LFO Phase could be offset when restarting the Sequencer with Restart button when SeqMod<0
LFO 2 Rate modulation was applied on 2nd key press when modulated by Kbd/Seq
[Duo Split]

Lower Glide is now reproduced as expected
Playing Legato on Lower when Legato=Off & Seq=Play was stopping Sequencer
Sequencer glide were enabling Glide on Upper Only
